I hope and pray what Brazil is doing now (but don't believe it will) becomes a blueprint in choking off Musks cynical use of Freedom of Speech to attempt to overthrow democracies everywhere in service to fascist power

The judge, it seems, is flying by the seat of his pants a bit, as he also said that businesses and individuals using VPN's to access Xitter, would be fined $9k a day or something like that. Not sure how he thinks VPN's work. I guess they can institute the Brazil wide block, then watch to see what accounts from Brasil are updating after the block, then make the case they must be using VPN's to circumnavigate the block, but that's A WHOLE FUCKTON of surveillance, enforcement and prosecution, I'm not sure Brazil's courts are up for.

Judge has the right idea here, fuck Elon Musk, and fuck Xitter, it is not a sovereign nation, it is a communications company poisoning and allowing through racist incitement the poisoning of the body politic of the entire free world, and should be held to task.

If 7 years of updates aren't coupled with 7 years of an extended warranty on LED TV's which notoriously burn out after 2 or 3, it doesn't matter
